This attractive home is set behind electric gates and the majority of the mature and secluded grounds are south-west facing. There is a large driveway at the front which provides ample parking, access to a garage and an EV charger.

Believed to have been built around 1900 with materials found along the Pilgrims Way, 'Pilgrims' is an attractive and sympathetically modernised five-bedroom, five-bathroom, character home plus studio, which sits on a beautifully landscaped 0.34 acre plot.

There is a wonderful mix of character and charm, highlighted by the beamed living room, which has feature fireplaces at both ends and an inscription from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. From here you walk into the kitchen breakfast family room, which by contrast, has vaulted ceilings, two huge sets of bi-fold doors and a contemporary kitchen which features a large island. The kitchen offers a truly exceptional place to entertain whilst facing south overlooking the magnificent and generous courtyard garden. The garden is surrounded by terraces which provide a superb and sunny haven for al fresco dining. The current owners have converted the former reception room on the right side of the ground floor into a brilliant annexe space with ensuite shower room and rear access. There is also an extensive utility/boot room and guest cloakroom on the ground floor.

On the first floor there are four spacious bedrooms, with the principal suite having its own luxury ensuite and dressing room. The spectacular second bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and modern en-suite also. The other two bedrooms share a well-appointed family bathroom.

The exceptional studio has recently been built by the current owners and is a brilliant versatile space. Currently the studio is set up as a home office and games room, it could also be used as a separate annexe as it has a kitchen and en-suite bathroom. Three sets of glass sliding doors ensure it has a bright and spacious feel. From the kitchen there is access to the garage.
